On the hour bring big Erl on for ten minutes, fastest ever FA Cup hatrick,
finishes Orient 1 City 5

Spolied Fanbase FC

So we can't comment when we are losing to a fuckin league 1 side?

It's not spoiled, it's calling out a performance for what it is!!!

Pep could go if we fuck this up

Lol

 

[Ajm1985]

That Gundo miss was so fucking painful

 

[YaYa's Left Peg]

The lack of composure and the slow play is becoming the norm now. We fluffed two amazing chances and look like conceding every time we lose the ball.

Got to up the pace second half.

 

[come-on-barney]

Similar to the Cheltenham cup tie a few years ago we have to try and find that extra bit of mental strength

Problem is we don’t have any

Not on subs bench.

City always struggle away against lower league teams in the FA Cup, once 70 mins hits we “usually” come good.

 

[paulchapo]

And this is why i fucking love the F.A Cup

No it's only funny if it's another team struggling. We've had enough of it in our history to last a lifetime.

 

[blue whippet]

This wasn't in the plan. Concede with a goal that will rival that Bloody villa goal for the number of times it is shown, and from a foul to boot. New signings going off injured from said foul. Our usual lack of potency in front of goal. A ton of slow possession, striker taking all our set pieces and where is the midfield?
Hopefully sort it out and up our game in the second half. A bit more pace and invention and we will win, fingers crossed.

 

[i went to rotherham]

We’re winning this by 2 clear goals at least .

 

[manimanc]

I have no doubt we will win in the end, but bloody hell, we bring a new DM in and he goes off injured after 20 and they score from 30 yards. Every single game this season has been a question of what the fuck has this match in srore for us today. Just a catalogue of weird shit, voodoo curse of a season.

Well said.
I think the term you are looking for is typical city :)

 

[PragueBlue]

Well that half didn't go exactly to plan!

Their goal really should have been a foul on Gonzalez but not given and the ball breaks to their player who tries to chip our keeper from near the halfway line. Hits the bar but knocked in for an OG by the retreating Ortega. To top it all off Gonzalez got injured in the challenge and had to come off. Basically everything that could go wrong did.

Other that we created some decent chances and really should have scored 2 or 3 ourselves but we made a mess of the finishes.

All in all, pretty much sums up our season so far.

McAtee not really involved enough. Reis has done ok, O'Reilly too. Lewis has been Lewis and Gundogan has struggled. Marmoush looks desperate to score (and should have done) but isn't always making the right decisions. Grealish and Savinho look our most likely players to create something.

A bit more luck (or less bad luck) this 2nd half coupled with better finishing and we should win this.

 

[Father Paul]

It was a foul leading up to the goal and the goal was a fluke albeit a good fluke. Arse got the deflection last week. Par for this season

What deflection?

Sorry and true but the negativity just gets fucking tired.

Come on never seen a foul that, Gonzales got out muscled and yeah it was a fluke but they had a go, would any of our players had a crack? Would they bollocks, would of stopped turned and passed back

 

[Utrecht]

Give Guardiola another 175m and he will fix it.

 

[mac]

I didn't say that but it's preferable than losing 1-0.

I know but you know as well as I we are shite on penalties
